I read a study that showed 64% of Americans from Ramsey

find buying food being their number one stressor.

That's wild to me.

It wasn't even housing or a car payment anymore.

So it's telling me people have realized they are STUCK

in there current position so it makes no sense to worry

about moving, buying a house, or luxury like vacations.

Food is the biggest stressor because money is taken up

elsewhere.

But how I take it is people have made the conscious

decision to stay put and make the most of their current

living situation.

So if you're not hounding and pushing to find qualified

buyers, this is why you'll have a listing sit on the market

for 76 days and then go, "idk why".

Well I know why, it's not 2020 ANYMORE FOR THE LAST TIME.

2020 messed up a lot of people in the head in thinking

what a normal market is.

Think of all the scenarios and situations we were in,

and y'all think that's a normal market? lol

Times change.

Policy changes.

People seldom do.

We dominate investor + agent keywords on Google.

This is on the paid and SEO side combined too.

I saw the data, THOUSANDS of investors every month

search keywords like "investor friendly agent" and others

all over the country and we at BiggerPockets show up at

the top every time.

I just can't imagine a Real Estate Agent not taking advantage of this.

All it takes is a message to me here on BP to learn how

to get repeat business like Craig Curelop, and many others have.

Just Google Craig's name, he even wrote a book for us.

That's how powerful leveraging our platform is.

Not only do you get solid buyer clients to work with,

it expands your network 100x.

Cheers!

 That's only ONE buyer in a sea of buyers. I remember having a house I was wholesaling in Aurora, one buyer wanted it $30k below, one wanted it at asking, one wanting it $10k above. It's all about how strong of a buyers list you have.

My name is Adam, and I work with the BiggerPockets Featured Agent Program!

We’re looking for a few real estate agents in Denver to fill openings in our Featured Agent Program, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you about receiving what I personally think are some of the best leads on the market!

Think of it this way - there are millions of Biggerpockets members, podcast listeners, and Youtube subscribers who are actively investing - BUT THEY DON’T HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE LIKE YOU DO.

That’s where you come in - we need rockstar agents like you to connect these leads that are ready to go and want to work with you specifically.

If you’re interested in learning more about receiving leads from BiggerPockets or know someone who’s interested, just send me a message and we can start a conversation to see if it would be a fit for you.

Or, just message me if you want to talk more about it.

Happy Investing!

 Actually, this proves my point entirely. It's still all about the buyers you have regardless of the scenario. If you only have "cash" buyers well then there's no room for retail homes.

If you only have retail buyers, you miss out of the fixer upper opportunities.

Your buyers determine how well you do in this market. 

A buyers list of a variety of clients determines the ability to go out and shop for what they're looking for.

Who determines the price of a house?

It's always the buyers.

Always. Always.

It's not the Realtor.

It's not the Seller.

It's not the Appraiser.

It's not Zillow.

It's not the News.

Only the buyer.

Doesn't matter if it's 70% of it's ARV.

Or if it's $100k over asking.

So having the right buyers is the

most vital piece of a successful RE career.

It took me a while to completely understand this but the buyer ultimately determines the price of a home because they are the ones making the offer. Doesn't matter if it's 70% of ARV, or $70,000 over asking, it's all up to the buyers and there's so many different buy boxes!

Thanks for the comment Michael!

"There's no good deals in my market."

Honestly, I live for this.

When someone has the mentality of there being

no deals in any market, it just means less competition

for us that have a different mindset.

And really, understanding of what happens in real estate.

Firstly, "good deal" is SO freaking vague.

What's a good deal?

Different strokes for different folks.

Not every buyer is the same.

So your opinion as a real estate agent is not

the fact of the marketplace.

It's better to sell buyers what they want...

rather than what you have.

Read that again.

It's a good idea to sell buyers what they WANT,

meaning it's not up to you to determine what a deal is,

just shop for them,

that's all you got to do.

So that what you HAVE isn't a waste of time

because you could've been running the

numbers wrong anyway.

Cheers.

You're one buyer backing out of a deal before..

going back to a regular job you don't like.

Don't you want to be in real estate FULL time?

Or is real estate just a hobby?

Without the right buyers in Q4, 2026 will be exactly that.

No, you're brother in law is not going to get you rich.

We don't like when someone we know in network marketing approaches us with a new "opportunity"

so why are you doing the same thing with your friends and family?

With the current state of the economy, now is not the time to depend on SOI alone.

Otherwise, you'll be at a bar one day for happy hour at this job you don't like saying:

"Oh, I tried that real estate thing, it's a tough racket."

Marketing > Sales

Because without people knowing you exist,

there's no conversation to begin with.

The only work around is working with a trusted brand who has already done all the work.

Which is the main leverage point real estate agents experience on our Agent Finder with BiggerPockets.

Imagine getting your license today...

But having the trust of 20 years of experience tomorrow.

How would that help you?

I mean, I know how it'll help, I just want you to imagine.
